Screenshots In My Head

[Verse 1]
I’m scrollin through our history
Frozen smiles, old messages that still hit me
You said “call if it gets heavy, you ain’t gotta fight alone”
But I chose distance over honesty and slammed the door on home
Left you on read when you read me the most
Felt the fear in my chest, turned my heart into a ghost
Thought I was protectin you by steppin out the way
Really I was just scared of what you’d say
[Chorus]
Now I’m sittin here, losin myself
Staring at your face on a busted phone shelf
Replayin every word that I threw like a stone
You were right there, and I pushed you out my zone
You’re gone ‘cause I cracked under pressure I hid
Didn’t trust your love with the mess that I am
Now the silence hittin harder than the fights ever did
I’m sorry
I’m sorry, yeah I’m sorry
[Verse 2]
I remember your hoodie on the back of my chair
You laughed, said “keep it, so a piece of me’s there”
Now it’s hangin like a promise that I broke last year
Smells like your perfume and my old fear
I blamed work, blamed life, blamed the weight on my chest
Truth is I never learned how to live in a mess
So I packed my bags with excuses and pride
Left you holdin all the questions I kept locked inside
[Chorus]
Now I’m sittin here, losin myself
Staring at your face on a busted phone shelf
Replayin every word that I threw like a stone
You were right there, and I pushed you out my zone
You’re gone ‘cause I cracked under pressure I hid
Didn’t trust your love with the mess that I am
Now the silence hittin harder than the fights ever did
I’m sorry
I’m sorry, yeah I’m sorry

rap, Moody, intimate rap over sparse piano and warm sub-bass, trap-style drums dropping in after the first few bars. Verses close-mic and confessional, light tape delay on the tail of key phrases. Hook opens with layered, slightly detuned harmonies and filtered hats to lift the emotion. Final chorus strips to piano and vocal, soft reverb blooming on the last “I’m sorry.”
